Had some more time to work on her today.
Washed the mounts in soap and water.
Tapped over the Oil Label.
And gave the mounts three coats of black paint.
Also some clear.
Second coat of clear got some frosting effect.
Very hot and humid today.
Cleaned the front fender for the first time.
Top and bottom.
The front half looks decent enough, but the back half has lots of scratches and a small dent.

Re: 1983 KZ1000R2 Project
Today 17:54
A little more done today:
The License plate mount was looking bad.
A clean and paint.
The tail light lens also looked worn out: dirty and faded. so bought a new one.
The new one has the refletors on the sides, where the one that came with her did not.
I prefer having the reflector for safety.
The Ignition cover that came with her seems to be an 1100R model's.
Found the correct style Ign. cover, just needs some black paint.
